Fight and Determination on Display for Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing Team

Sunnyvale, CA, February 14, 2026 — Round 6 of the AMA Supercross Championship marked the final stop of the West Coast swing as the series rolled into the Pacific Northwest. Challenging early tacky and sticky track conditions tested the field from the outset, but it was a night that highlighted the grit and determination of Dylan Ferrandis aboard the Ducati Desmo450 MX.

The day began with promise as Ferrandis put together a strong opening qualifying session, clocking the ninth-fastest time. He improved his pace in Qualifying 2 and secured 11th overall heading into the night show, setting the stage for solid gate selection and competitive racing under the lights.

In Heat Race 2, Ferrandis powered off the line and crossed the opening lap in sixth. Wasting no time, he made quick moves to advance into fifth on lap two. After battling intensely throughout the race, he ultimately secured a sixth-place finish, relinquishing just one position on the final lap.

The Main Event saw Ferrandis continue to push forward. He crossed the line in 10th position and recorded his fastest lap of the race, and of the entire day, on lap four with an impressive 53.283. Running consistently inside the top 10, his lap times demonstrated the potential to move further up the order. On lap six, he advanced into ninth and engaged in a fierce back-and-forth battle for position deep into the race.

A small tip-over in the turn just after the mechanics' area briefly stalled his momentum, but Ferrandis refused to back down. Showing resilience and determination, he remounted and fought hard to secure a top-10 finish, knocking on the door of ninth by the checkered flag.

Seattle proved to be a testament to Ferrandis' fighting spirit in a stacked and competitive field. Progress continues to be made as the team fine-tunes the package. The rhythm sections and whoops showed positive gains, while corner speed remains an area for refinement as the team works to bring the full package together.

“It was a very challenging track with the rain coming into the weekend. So far one of the nastiest and gnarly tracks,” said Dylan Ferrandis. “I started off feeling good in 1st practice, tried some things in practice and it didn't walk that great. The heat race was fine, I was a little timid. In the main, I was feeling really good… my body and my mind was all in a good place. I was in a good spot fighting with the boys and was pushing, pushing, pushing and pushed the limit, a little too much. I lost the front and crashed. Came back to fight again and gave it everything I had. I was very disappointed with myself. I feel like tonight we could have improved on overall position. I think everybody in the team saw some good fight and saw some improvement on the bike. So next weekend we will have another to improve.”

With the West Coast swing complete, Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing leaves Seattle encouraged by the progress shown and motivated to continue building momentum as the championship heads east.
